What is Lettuce?

Lettuce is a leafy green vegetable that grows in a clustered head, with many leaves growing from the stem, to form a round or conical vegetable. Lettuce is green with large tender leaves that bruise easily and get smaller towards the center, or heart of the lettuce. There are many varieties of lettuce, most have green leaves, while some have purple/brown leaves. Romaine is hearty, while iceberg is watery. Each leaf does have a dry, yet partially juicy quality and a crisp texture. The flavor is green and vegetal. Lettuce is best served cold and raw.
